The famous writer Mark Twain said: "Two great figures appeared in the 19th century, one was Napoleon and the other was Helen Keller. ”
As we all know, Helen Keller is a famous Educator and Philanthropist in the United States. On June 27, 1880, Helen was born, when she was a normal baby, able to see, hear, and learn to speak. However, when she was 19 months old, she became a blind and deaf mute due to acute cerebral congestion.
Desperate, her parents sent her to a school for the blind in Boston, and on March 3, 1887, hired a special teacher to take care of her. The teacher's name was Anne Sullivan.
With the help of Teacher Anne, Helen studied for more than 10 hours a day, gradually replacing her eyes and ears with her fingertips, and learning to communicate and communicate with the outside world. By the time she was in her 10s, she had become a role model for people with disabilities across the United States.
In 1894, Helen was placed at the Hemasson School for the Deaf in New York, where she studied Chinese. In 1900, the 20-year-old girl, who had learned the grammar, embosses and pronunciations of the fingers, and gained knowledge through these means, entered the Dracleaf College of Harvard University. Four years later, as the world's first blind, deaf and mute person to receive a university education, she successfully graduated with honors.
Helen learned not only to speak, but also to type with a typewriter. Helen's sense of touch is extremely sharp, she can "appreciate" music by placing her hand on the wooden part of the piano and violin, and can use her fingers to gently touch each other's throat to "listen to songs", and even she can recognize it by shaking hands after shaking hands with others for 5 years.
In the year of Helen's graduation, the "Helen Keller Day" was established at the St. Louis Exposition. In 1919, Helen was invited to Hollywood to star in a film, during which she met Charlie Chaplin.
In 1924, Helen founded the Helen Keller Foundation. After World War II, Helen lectured around Europe, Asia, and Africa, drawing attention to people with disabilities. In 1953, Helen's documentary The Invincible Man was released in the United States.
Helen has always been full of confidence in life and passionate about her career. She enjoys swimming, boating, and horseback riding in the forest, plays chess and fortune telling in playing cards, and kills time by weaving on rainy days.
Helen died on June 1, 1968, at the age of 88. She has spent her life practicing "as long as it is something that is really beneficial to society, and it is something I can do, I will do my best." This sentence.
Life is not satisfactory, often eight or nine, what we can do is to work hard to fight against fate and win our own light!
